All about Montecristo Cuban cigars
Montecristo cigars first began to be produced in 1935 by a man named Garcia Menendez in Havana, Cuba. At this particular time, he was also the owner of the H. Upmann cigar brand which was extremely popular. The name for the Montecristo cigars came from the novel, the Count of Monte Christo which was very popular reading during that time, especially among those that rolled cigars.
The Montecristo No 2 and Montecristo No 4 are one of the popular Cuban cigar models from this brand. I enjoy this brand because it not only offers various aromas and fine construction, but the taste is amazing especially when you get to the end of the cigar. The draws are smooth on all of Montecristo models that makes it stand out and this is a definite factor in it’s popularity around the globe.
During the 1940s, a tube cigar was added but it wasn’t until after nationalization that things began to change. In 1959, Manuel Gonzalez was assigned as a floor manager in the factory and he began to add the new cigars that are now available under the Montecristo cigars brand. Even as late as 2007, new cigars continued to be released with the latest being the Edmundo Dantes.
Montecristo is a brand that stands out the most no matter what until the Cohiba was created. Montecristo still is one of the best cigars in the world and definitely in the top five. With various models that can suit to anyone’s taste, no one can mess with the beauty of this brand as it’s simply gorgeous in design and feel.
Montecristo are well known and very well distributed around the globe. If you can’t find a Cohiba, you will still find a Montecristo. It is a top selling brand for a reason and this is why the Montecristo is considered to be a part of Cuban heritage. Well done Mr.Garcia, well done indeed!
